Dell explains the XPS 700 delay

TG Daily has an interview with Dell's Liem Nguyen responding to the cause behind the delay of the XPS 700. Rather than, as speculated, a problem with Core 2 Duo chip supplies or the Nvidia Nforce 590 motherboard chipset, Dell claims it held up shipments because of a cooling problem that it has now resolved. We have no way to confirm whether that's actually the case, but what's clear is that this explanation removes blame from Intel and Nvidia.

The interview answers a lot of questions, but we still have others. Dell told us that our reviewed XPS 700 configuration will still be valid by mid-October, so we'll take its word that it's a real system. But asking you to pay for our box's GeForce 7900 GTX cards when they'll be a generation behind when you receive them is foolish. If Dell doesn't address this problem, expect our review score to change. We actually have a face-to-face meeting with some folks from Dell's desktops crew in an hour and a half. We'll report back if we learn anything.

American corporations have been killing Americans for decades. The corporate farm has done the most damage to both the food we eat and the environment we have to live in. The unhealthy relationship between the Republican Party and Corpoate America has allowed this greed to go unchecked and science to be trumped by the need for profits.

So the natural docs were right again. Why is the FDA discredits the natural health side of things, only to agree with them years down the road. Time to eat some crow and get off your high horse, FDA!

Wrong kind of insurance for those "farmers".

Since the 1950s, the population growth and the glut of people wanting more and more meat products is what has driven this. Humans consume too much animal product and have only to blame themselves for this. Humans also over medicate and self medicate with too many antibiotics, thinking it helps them stave off illness, instead of prudently taking the drug only under extreme cases; many are too lax and refuse to except the body's normal ability to heal itself, although requiring some prolonged illness and discomfort. With these factors, more and more humans are becoming immune to the health benefits of antibiotics. Too much meat and too much antibiotics.

The conditions on corporate feed lots require the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are bad for people. Even if they didn't use antibiotics eating meat creates an acidic condition in humans that washes minerals out of the body. Among the big losses is calcium. Eating excess meat is contributes to osteoporosis in both men and women.
